Teddy was one year old when he was diagnosed with a severe immunodeficiency.
Rachel, his mum, attended a coffee morning organised by Rainbow Trust’s North East Care team and, shortly after, Rainbow Trust Family Support Worker Emma began supporting the family weekly.
"Teddy’s condition affects his immune system. If he gets the flu or a cold, it could be life-threatening.
Our Family Support Worker Emma was an absolute legend. I don’t know how I would have managed without her. She saw me cry many a time.
We always really looked forward to when Emma came round, we called it ‘Rainbow Day’. She gave me much-needed respite while Teddy and I were at hospital or the halfway house.
Not only did Emma look after Teddy and make him laugh, but she also supported me emotionally too. That was so needed and very important.”
With your help Rainbow Trust Family Support Workers can make the challenges that families living with childhood illness face that bit more manageable.
